280GSM Economy PVC Flex Banner

Technical Parameters

Material Selection Guide

Only select 280GSM when the budget is the absolute constraint and the usage is confirmed to be very temporary and low-stress.

• Environmental Risk: Avoid this weight for high-wind, heavy-rain, or long-term outdoor installations, which require 440GSM or higher.

• Longevity: If the banner needs to last beyond three months, a higher GSM or a reinforced PVC film should be considered.

• Finishing: Due to lower tear strength, stress-relief techniques (e.g., rope sewn into the hem, not just grommets) are recommended if used outdoors.

Manufacturing and Tailoring

Production is focused on maximizing roll length and minimizing coating weight while maintaining basic strength.

• Weave Visibility: The coating is applied to reduce the visual appearance of the low-denier base scrim, which is a common issue with economy-grade materials.

• Roll Density: Rolls are typically supplied in long lengths (e.g., 100 meters) to maximize printer uptime and efficiency in high-volume print shops.

• Quality Control: Basic tests for tear strength and print receptivity are conducted on every batch to ensure the material meets minimum performance standards.

Deployment FAQ

• Q: Is 280GSM transparent when backlit?

  A: Yes, its low coating weight means it is translucent. For backlit applications, the dedicated Backlit PVC Flex Banner must be used for light diffusion control.

• Q: How can I minimize edge curling on this lightweight material?

  A: Use minimal heat during welding and ensure the ink curing process is balanced. For installation, stretching the banner tightly within a frame will eliminate most curling issues.
